Garmin talk

I was thinking today about the various connected features we have today and what we had in the past. So, since Garmin XT was something I used on a phone several years ago, I decided to take a look at http://www8.garmin.com/buzz/mobilext/ We had Garmin OnLine, fuel prices, flight status, weather, traffic, etc.

Since getting my new Garmin Nuvi 3597 recently, I have been brain storming to make sure that I do everything I need to do to get it up to date. So far, here is a laundry list of things I have done, or will do, after getting a new Garmin:

-Update to current firmware

-Update to latest maps

-Delete non English voices

-Delete non English keyboards

I just downloaded the latest redlight camera file and noticed that the 4 Oldsmar fl cameras are missing or maybe I'm not seeing them?
They were there a couple weeks ago.

I would like to configure my Garmin Nuvi 3597 so that it does not auto zoom. I just want it to stay at whatever setting I select. Does anybody know if this is possible?

I know that on some Garmins it was an option if I selected the UK or some other non-United States country. Could this still be possible?

I am looking for a protective case for my Garmin Nuvi 3597. I know that there are lots of cases available, but I am specifically looking for the type that is similar to a cell phone protective case that would allow it to be used when navigating on foot, I seem to recall seeing one somehwere recently, but I can't for the life of me seem to find it on line right now.

Factory Outlet Store.com is offering many Garmin Nuvi models at 25 - 75% off for 48 hours only.

Is there a Poi for US Post office mailbox locations? I haven't found it so far. Thanks

According to this there are some 3597's available...

Some of the reviews indicate they are refurbished but I can't confirm here's the link

Just got a Nuvi 2597, however the internal drive and SD don't show up on my PC as drives, but rather as Protable Devices. (With my 855, showed up as drives J and K.

Comments?

I have a 1450 and really like the security PIN feature. I don't see anything like it on a new 65LM. Did I miss it or is Garmin not putting that feature on anymore? If the latter is the case are there any add-ons that would add some sort of security?

Thanks

Hello
As you can see from the subject, I pulled a bone head move.
I was formatting my camera sd card (or so I thought) and it wiped the Garmin 3790LMT instead.
Before I removed it from the computer I read in one of these forum posts that I should try and use "Express" to see if it can correct things... Well, it did. To a point.

Dunno if or how good this price is, but its being offered for $319.99 U.S.D.

Not an endorsement, not an ad, just something that fell out of my email box this morning and thought someone here might like to know..... So shoot me!!

Hi.

I just bought a nuvi 2595LTM and want to transfer my favorites from my nuvi 765t to the 2595. What is the easiest way to do this?

Thank you.

My sister recently got a Nuvi 50LM. I am trying to get her up and running. I pointed her in these directions.

2. Gary Hayman's Newbie webpage.

3. GPS City YouTube videos.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

After carefully editing my GPX files just the way I want them to play particular proximity sound alerts, I went on a trip and my Nuvi 755 would only play its default built-in double beep for each and every one.

when I plug into lighter my Garmin 2555 shows being hooked to the computer. it might show that for a bit then do what it should for while then go back like plugged into computer Hope someone has a thought on this that might help me out.

I apologize if this is covered on here somewhere but I couldn't find it. I know that some of the Garmin models come with the 3D Buildings mode, but I was wondering if there is a file you can add to your Garmin if you don't have it? I have the 2597LMT which doesn't come with that. I noticed that the 3597 does. If there a way it can still be added or purchased if need be?

Going from Ohio to NY and travel on 80 East speed limit 65,I notice when I reach Dubois the speed limit change to 70,and it end when I pass Clinton Country. that is only 88 miles,that the speed limit is 70 miles..I did some research and I found out that the limit was increase on August 11 of this year,and starting Next Year it will be stretch to 550 miles plus..

Today only you can get a factory refurbished 2557LMT from Woot for just $95.99 plus $5.00 shipping. They say it won't arrive before Christmas but it's still a pretty good deal.

My Nuvi kept popping off of the gooseneck and I tried to salvage it by adding tissue under the ball where it goes into the adapter, So finally i called Garmin and was going to buy me that adapter that clips onto the back of the nuvi.
